After dressing up as a stepmother, I transformed the whole family into working in the fields

Qin Yao took the book, sat at the table, and asked: "Those who enjoy the happiness of the people will also enjoy the happiness of the people. What is the next sentence?"

Liu Jiduan sat at the table, looking at the raindrops falling from the eaves outside the window. He was stunned for a while and answered: "Those who worry about the people's worries will also worry about their worries."

Qin Yao asked: "What do you mean?"

Liu Ji swallowed his saliva, "What he said is that if the king of a country takes the happiness of the people as his own pleasure, then the people will also be happy for the king's happiness. If the king takes the people's worries as worries, then the people will also take the king's worries as their own. concern."

The original words did not mean this, but because they were based on Ding Yuanwai's annotations, the reference in the article was directly positioned at the king.

This is also a mode of answering questions, with the purpose of pleasing others.

Qin Yao assumed that he answered correctly and moved on to the next question.

"The heart is full of love, but the distance is nothing! It's hidden in the heart, how can we forget it!" Qin Yao asked: "Where does this sentence come from?"

Liu Ji's tense nerves relaxed instantly. He knew this question, it couldn't be easier.

"From the Book of Songs." He answered very confidently.

Because he found that the contents of the Four Books and Five Classics have their own obvious formats, and the Book of Songs is the easiest to identify among them.

Qin Yao smiled lightly, put down the book, and asked Liu Ji to choose a sentence from "The Great Learning" as the theme and write a paragraph.

He himself said that he had memorized all four books and understood them thoroughly. Today she was going to test whether his understanding of them was deep enough.

Liu Ji, who had been so confident just now, suddenly felt his heart stop. In the cool autumn rain, two bead-sized beads of sweat rolled down his hair.

"Gulu!" Liu Ji swallowed hard. Just when he felt his throat was a little dry and itchy, a cup of tea was brought to him.

"Take your time, drink some water and think carefully. You still have three quarters of an hour." Qin Yao smiled.

It takes 45 minutes to write a 700-word essay, which is very simple.

Raising an eyebrow at Liu Jina, Qin Yao moved her chair towards the door, holding hot tea and looking at the rain outside the house, which was very interesting.

But the hourglass turned upside down on the table made Liu Ji's scalp numb.

He quickly laid out the paper, grinding the topic he wanted to write on.

The first step was the most difficult. I finally came up with something that I thought was relatively simple. When I looked at the hourglass, I saw that one-third of the sand had already flowed out.

Subconsciously looking up at the person at the door, Liu Ji suddenly had the illusion that he was back in the examination room.

But at this time, his time was not one day, but less than two quarters of an hour.

During the last scientific examination in Fucheng, he imitated the content left by his predecessors and wrote in a random manner, purely to fill up the blank paper.

But it was obvious that he couldn't escape today. Qin Yao was not the examiner, so he couldn't even imagine the consequences of scribbling.

But the masters in the academy haven’t taught you this yet!

Liu Ji screamed for help in his heart. The brush on his hand was stained with ink, and he put down the pen with all his might - write as much as you can, and have a correct attitude.

The rain gradually became lighter. Hearing the soft drizzle in his ears, Qin Yao felt sleepy and took a nap.

Liu Ji felt happy. It didn't hurt him to turn over the scroll and take a look.

But the next second he showed an annoyed look, because he didn't have any books to draw from.

For the first time, Liu Ji had a strong desire to get more books.

Unfortunately, I haven’t finished writing the seven hundred words, and the time has come.

Qin Yao seemed to have pressed a time bell in her ear, her narrowed eyes opened on time, she got up and walked towards the table.

Liu Jifei quickly wrote a few more words to complete a complete sentence.

Qin Yao knocked on the table, Liu Ji put down his pen, stood up and stood behind him, waiting for Qin Yao to sit down and read the papers.

He chose the sentence "What good people hate, evil people like, is to say that if you mess with people's nature, they will catch their husbands."

The original meaning is that liking what people hate and hating what people like is called going against human nature, and disaster will definitely befall him.

Qin Yao clicked her tongue: "The topic selection is okay, it is very close to your own experience."

So she looked forward to it and continued reading.

The article says: [Human nature prefers enjoyment and arrogance, but dislikes hard work and hard work.

But there was a certain person in a certain village in a certain county. He had rebelled against human nature since he was a child. He worked hard in the fields during heavy rains and washed himself in rivers in cold weather.

This person got up before dawn every day to help his parents grind tofu, and stayed up reading until midnight. As a result, he suffered from cold legs, low back pain, fatigue, and a bald head and ugly face. , people gave him the nickname Ugly Bald Donkey.

As a result, this person had a low self-esteem and would not speak to others for many years. Later, his parents and relatives died, and he died alone in his home. He was found to be rotten and withered. 】

Seeing this, Qin Yao already felt that something was going wrong and frowned deeply.

Looking further down is the reference group for comparison with the person above.

The article said: [There is another person in a certain county who has followed human nature since he was a child. He sleeps when he should sleep and wakes up when he should. He enjoys comfort and does not work hard or work hard. His parents and relatives ask him to work, and he only does what he should do. Stop and rest when you feel tired. In the long run, your body and mind will be healthy, and your parents and relatives will feel happy.

One day, an eminent monk came and told his parents and relatives that this person had the image of wealth and honor, and he had this image because he was in compliance with human nature, taking people's pleasure as pleasure, and taking people's evil as evil.]

At this point, the content stopped because the time had expired and Liu Ji could not continue writing.

Qin Yao looked at the article in her hand and was silent for a full three minutes - she almost got into trouble with this guy, but she actually thought that his writing was pretty good, well-founded, and even compared the pros and cons.

Fortunately, she was still conscious and was not taken in.

The question was chosen correctly, but from the very beginning of the discussion, the respondent secretly changed the concept.

The good and evil in this theme do not refer to hard work or enjoying luxury.

It is broader and can represent the moral principles and standards of the general public.

In "The Great Learning", this is the experience that a powerful man should abide by after Zengzi's analysis of human nature in identifying people, knowing people, governing his subordinates, and being obedient to the people.

This good is the good of the people in the world, and this evil is the evil of the people in the world.

The people like benevolence and hate treachery. If a powerful person cannot "evil what good people do and like what evil people do" and goes against human nature, disaster will definitely come back to him.

Liu Ji's explanation is not on the same level at all, and it is ridiculously wrong.

Liu Ji, who hadn't seen Qin Yao's reaction for a long time, was standing behind him waiting to be judged. His heart was racing. He couldn't hold it back and asked weakly:

"Madam, what do you think of this discussion?"

"Bang!" Qin Yao slapped the answer sheet on the table. Liu Ji was so frightened that he almost lost control of his body and knelt down on his knees.

"No, isn't it good?" Liu Ji said bravely: "If you are not satisfied, I will write another one, but madam, please don't get so angry over this little thing."

Qin Yao turned around, her eyes filled with cold light, "Does this mean you have understood everything you told me?"

Liu Ji still knelt down, "I dare not hide it, madam. I admit, it is indeed a little exaggerated, but!"

He had legitimate reasons for why he made such a stupid mistake.

Qin Yao frowned, she wanted to see how he could quibble. (End of chapter)
